Neurenteric cyst: current management.
Two newborn infants with neurenteric cysts have been evaluated with recently developed imaging techniques. Magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography can provide the evaluations needed to facilitate removal of the entire cyst at one operation. Appreciation of the extent of the problem allows for expeditious evaluation and early definitive surgical intervention.
